A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Eating Behaviors and Home Food Environmental Factors in Adolescents From São Paulo (Brazil) and Saint Paul–Minneapolis (US)
Open accessAbstract
Objective Describe cross-cultural differences in nutrition-related factors among adolescents from São Paulo, Brazil and St Paul-Minneapolis, US.Design Two large-population-based studies with cross-cultural comparisons.Setting Twelve São Paulo and 10 St Paul-Minneapolis high schools in 2009-2010.Participants A total of 1,148 adolescents from São Paulo and 1,632 adolescents from St Paul-Minneapolis.Main outcome measure(s) Meal consumption, family meals, fast-food consumption, and home food availability.Analysis Binomial regressions, weighted for age distributions and adjusted for gender, were used to compare identical measures from each sample.Results Generally, São Paulo adolescents reported healthier nutritional outcomes than St Paul-Minneapolis adolescents. São Paulo adolescents were 7 times less likely to report high fast-food consumption than St Paul-Minneapolis adolescents (P < .001). Whereas most measures of the home environment indicated healthier home environments in São Paulo, more São Paulo adolescents reported that sugar-sweetened beverages were usually available at home than did St Paul-Minneapolis adolescents (P < .001).Conclusions and implications São Paulo youth tended to have healthier eating behaviors and home food environment factors than St Paul-Minneapolis youth. Brazilian eating patterns tend to be healthier and support a connection with food and culture. Interventions are needed to encourage youth and their families to maintain these patterns.

Sex differences may not represent exclusively fundamental biological differences, as hedonic food intake may also be influenced by cultural differences in societal expectations from men and women.
“It is important to note, though, that sex differences may not represent exclusively fundamental biological differences, as hedonic food intake may also be influenced by cultural differences in societal expectations from men and women 119, 120.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
